Clinical Pharmacology

Elliotts B Solution provides a buffered salt solution for use as a diluent for the intrathecal administration of methotrexate sodium and cytarabine. It has been demonstrated that Elliotts B Solution is comparable to cere­brospinal fluid in pH, electrolyte composition, glucose content, and osmolarity:

Comparison of Electrolyte Composition, pH and Nonelectrolytic Constituents of Elliotts B Solution and CSF

The approximate buffer capacity of Elliotts B Solution is 1.1 X 10 equivalents when the challenge solution is 0.01 N HCl and 7.8 X 10 equivalents when the challenge solution is 0.01 N NaOH.

Compatibility studies with methotrexate sodium and cytarabine indicate these drugs are physically compati­ble with Elliotts B Solution.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
None known.

Intrathecal administration of drugs such as methotrexate sodium and cytarabine should be performed by per­sonnel skilled in the technique of lumbar puncture under the supervision of a physician who is experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. The labeling for methotrexate sodium and cytarabine should be consulted.

Cabergoline should not be administered concurrently with D-antagonists, such as phenothiazines, butyrophenones, thioxanthenes, or metoclopramide.

Adverse reactions may occur with any given intrathecal injection due to the chemotherapy or the technique of intrathecal administration.  (See product labeling for methotrexate sodium and cytarabine.)

Preservative-free methotrexate sodium and cytarabine should be used to minimize adverse reactions due to preservatives.

If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the administration, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and, if possible, save the remainder of the unused solution(s) for examination.
